This Sesame Street themed cake was chocolate cake on the bottom tier with a cream cheese whipped cream filling. The top tier was a banana pecan cake with banana meringue filling with fresh bananas, pecans and a caramel drizzle as the filling. The cake is iced in vanilla swiss meringue buttercream. All figures are handmade out of fondant. Too cute!!

Cake pops




A friend of mine emailed me a new website about cake pops (Bakerella.com). Seeing how adorable they looked, I had to give them a try. All of my taste testers :) say they are absolutely wonderful! They are very sweet: cake and icing mixed together and then dipped in melted chocolate. The second picture are just some truffles I did with the same batch. Super cute!!

This cake was made for my son's first birthday. The top tier is strawberry cake with homemade cream cheese filling. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse filling. The cake is covered in fondant. I hand-sculpted each figure from gumpaste as well as the tree (with help from my amazing husband). The grass is buttercream icing around the animals. The cupcakes had fondant animal faces on top of buttercream icing and strawberry and white almond cake.
